Astral Apostle

   Chapter 237 Request

Outside the    Taoist Temple, several tall, short, fat and thin men stood at the door waiting.

   Everyone's face has the color of the wind and frost like a knife and axe. At a glance, you can see that it is the Tianwangzhai group who have been fighting outside all year round.

The leader of    was the owner of the village, Lu Longchuan, and the rest were leaders who could rank in the village and were called to Beijing to accept the reward.

   "We have never had any dealings with Yufeng Zhenren, and I don't know if he wants to see us."

   Xiang Tianjie whispered, his tone hesitant.

  Lu Longchuan shook his head: "It's hard to say, this person is a popular man beside the emperor, he is very favored, and his status is not comparable to me, so he may not be interested in seeing me."

   Hearing this, a rude-looking bearded man next to him was dissatisfied, and said loudly: "Brother is too self-deprecating, he is just a bull's nose. If my brother wants to see him, I will rush in and catch him out!"

   "Two tigers must not be rude!"

  Lu Longchuan immediately scolded, paused, and said solemnly: "This real Yufeng is famous all over the world. It is rumored that he has great supernatural powers, but he is a master in the world. You have accepted my temper, and you must not collide with him!"

   "What kind of supernatural powers, I have never seen them, most of them are fake, they are all a head, a hammer smashed it, it is still a death." Erhu murmured, displeased.

   This person is called Shi Hu, nicknamed Erhu. He is good at using double hammers. He is often responsible for charging into battle in the cottage. He is a rude and rude person.

"Erhu, don't speak until later, so as not to offend others." A scribe said, shaking the bamboo fan in his hand lightly, and said with a smile: "This Master Yufeng has a detached status in Beijing, even Prime Minister Qin will give him three If we can have a relationship with him, we can get him a few good words in front of the Holy One, and the benefits will be endless in the future."

   "Since the strategist said so, then I will not speak for a while." Shi Hu hummed, showing respect for the scribe.

   This scholar, named Sun Rong, was the third chief of Tianwangzhai and the chief military advisor of the cottage.

   This time, everyone came to visit the real Yufeng, and it was he who strongly facilitated it.

  Lu Longchuan lowered his voice and asked, "Master, it's just a matter of meeting and getting to know the real Yufeng. We have no relationship with him and no reason, so we must invite him out of the mountain?"

  Sun Rong's face was straight, and he nodded: "Yes, we have done a good job in pacifying the bandits this time. Although we have a reward, the court also asked me to wait for the next spring to go to Huyang to suppress bandits. I must ask the help of experts on this trip, otherwise the future is dim!"

   said, he paused and continued:

"Yanbei and Taidong bandits are rampant, but fortunately I was once the leader of the green forest in the north, and all those who could be surrendered were surrendered, and those that should be destroyed were destroyed, and the rest were stragglers. ...But that Huyang is different, it is the most dangerous place in the world!

That Chen Feng is unparalleled in martial arts, and under his command Longwangzhai also has 100,000 horses, and the Huyang water network is dense, we are not good at water warfare, and the long-distance soldiers are tired and tired, but the other side is tyrannical and waits for work. The leader of the enemy, if it fails, all the brothers will be ruined there... So if you can't ask experts to come out to help, I will be more fortunate in this trip. "

   Everyone nodded.

   In addition to getting to know people, another goal of this rash visit is to ask this expert to help them eliminate bandits.

   After all, the "Dragon King" Chen Feng's military power is shocking, and if they can't find a way to overcome the enemy, they really feel that they have no chance of winning.

  If this Master Yufeng really masters the magic of immortal family, as rumored, he may be one of the few people in the world who can deal with Chen Feng.

   "I hope he's not a deceiver...and willing to see us."

   Xiang Tianjie sighed.

   At this time, the Daoist Zhike came out and greeted everyone: "My master has an invitation, you all come with me."

The group of   Tianwangzhai suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly entered the Taoist temple, followed the Taoist around a few yards, and soon arrived at the main house.

   As soon as everyone entered, they saw Zhou Jing dressed as Taoist priests, and they all bowed.

   "I have seen the real person Shenxiao Fengling."

   "Don't be too polite."

   Zhou Jing waved his hand, his eyes swept across the mountain of these people, and finally fell on Lu Longchuan, smiling slightly.

   "I was in Beijing, and I heard for a long time that the Lord Luzhai was recruited by the imperial court, and he knew how to return when he lost his way. I was fortunate to see him today."

  Lu Longchuan was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect this person to be so polite. He was immediately flattered, and he cupped his hands in response: "The real person is famous all over the world. I have always admired him.

   The two exchanged a small wave of business, and then Zhou Jing greeted everyone to take their seats, and asked the disciples to serve tea to everyone.

   After chatting for a while, everyone got to know each other.

   After discovering that the powerful Master Yufeng was not arrogant and domineering, but rather kind, Tianwangzhai and his party must have no more worries in their hearts.

  Sun Rong gave Lu Longchuan a wink.

  Lu Longchuan understood, moistened his throat, changed the subject, and said sternly:

   "To be honest, I'm waiting for the door today because I'm asking for a real person."

   "But it doesn't matter." Zhou Jing didn't change his face.

Lu Longchuan said in a serious tone, "The official family ordered me to go to Huyang to suppress the bandits. The bandit leader Chen Feng is extremely skilled in martial arts, and he has a wide range of navy soldiers. I am afraid that we are not rivals and will ruin the imperial plan. After thinking about it, only the real person has the ability to subdue this person, so I came here to ask the real person to help me."

After listening to    Zhou Jing, his expression was not surprised, and he asked with a smile: "Is there a decree in the official family, let the poor road go with the army?"

   "It never was..."

   "Well, since this matter has nothing to do with me, why should the poor Dao help you?"

   Zhou Jing's tone was unhurried.

Lu Longchuan sighed: "I know this is abrupt, but that Chen Feng's turmoil in Huyang has become a serious problem for the court's confidants. If time passes, it will become gangrene, which will be useless in Jiangshan, society and Ji... I have heard that the real person was born to seek the secret of heaven and protect the peace. , This Demon Chen Feng is harmful to the people, and needs to be rescued, but I am not an opponent, so I have to ask for help, and then I come to the door on my own."

  Sun Rong got up, bowed and gave a big gift, and interjected: "I also hope that the real person will take action to subdue the demons for the sake of the people of Limin."

   Zhou Jing smiled and his face remained unchanged.

He flicked the dust off his hands, looked around at everyone, and suddenly asked, "I heard that Chen Feng defended the people's grievances in Huyang, claiming to be doing justice for the heavens, and you were once a member of the Green Forest, and also acted similarly, what do you think? "

  Everyone's faces stiffened, a little dumbfounded.

  Sun Rong did not change his face and said:

"Though acting like this, although it was a quick success, it broke the rules of the world. It seems like a good and righteous act, but it is actually a lack of consideration. The court has its own laws. People's livelihood is more difficult, chaotic and withered. I have been in the green forest for many years to understand this truth, and finally I lost my way and was called by the court to serve the country, but Chen Feng insisted on going his own way.

   "It makes sense." Zhou Jing nodded with a smile: "Since you have such knowledge, Pindao would like to help you."

   Hearing this, Lu Longchuan and the others showed joy on their faces.

   But at this time, Zhou Jing changed his words and said slowly:

"However, I am in charge of alchemy for the official family, and the official family may not be willing to let me leave the capital. It is better for you to formally submit a book and request that the poor road be dispatched to accompany the army. ."

"This…"

  Lu Longchuan looked embarrassed.

   They are not eligible to go to court on weekdays, and this time they entered the capital to discuss merit and perform reward to be able to face the Holy Spirit. They had already seen it not long ago, so it is not easy to do it now if they want to hand over the book for the ministers to discuss.

   Seeing this, Zhou Jing shook his head and said, "Although I have the heart to help, I have to be nodded by the officials, and the poor will be waiting for the good news from everyone."

   After he finished speaking, he brought tea to the guest.

  Lu Longchuan and others had no choice but to leave.

   The group went out of the Taoist temple and looked at each other as they watched the door closed.

   Shihu hummed angrily:

"Hmph, this Niubi said it nicely, but I don't want to help, and I don't want to be honest, so I use this excuse to prevaricate! He looks weird, maybe he's the emperor's old man's favorite, so he's like this. Prosperity and wealth, how could the emperor let him do such hard work?"

   "Shut up, don't talk nonsense! How can you be a fool here?!"

  Lu Longchuan was startled and yelled furiously.

   "Don't say it, don't say it." Shi Hu turned his head away, still indignant.

  Lu Longchuan was so angry that his chest heaved and he calmed down after a while, looked at Sun Rong, frowned and said:

   "Master, look at this..."

  Sun Rong shook the bamboo fan and pondered: "The real person has already agreed, we just need to get the approval of the official family... Zhaizhu, it seems that we have to visit Prime Minister Qin."

  Lu Longchuan sighed slightly after hearing this.

  Qin Song was one of the seven thieves of the dynasty, and has always been their gateway to Tianwangzhai in Beijing. If there is a choice, Lu Longchuan doesn't want to be a traitor, but it's done, they can only act on Qin Song's breath.

   On the other side, in the main house of the Taoist Temple.

  Zhou Jing saw off Tianwangzhai and his group, sat back in place and drank tea slowly, his eyes became playful.

   "Meeting with Chen Feng in the past...not bad."

   He agreed to the request of Tianwangzhai and his party, and he had some calculations.

   Now that Chen Feng's reputation as the number one in the world has been established, it is also the way to make Bill's popularity in the past.

   There is no chance to play in Beijing. This time, the two apostles can touch each other and make a big scene, which not only reflects Chen Fengguan's contemporary martial power, but also shows the power of his own "skill".

   As long as the movement is big enough and amazing enough, and it shows the strength to "compete" with Chen Feng, 80% of the time will be offered by the court as a backer to restrain Chen Feng, which is beneficial to both apostles.

   In addition, he went on expedition with Tianwangzhai, and he could also part-time traitor, sending confidential information to Chen Feng.

   After all, Tianwangzhai has a large number of soldiers and generals, and it is not easy to deal with. Head-to-head battle damage will not be low, but it will make the court laugh.

  The so-called soldier is not tired of deceit, it is better to install a spy in the enemy's army, so that Chen Feng can control the movement of the enemy's army and deal with it more easily.

   Moreover, Lingfengzi's identity was so white that no one would suspect that he was sending information, and he was a stable group.

   As long as the Tianwangzhai army is defeated, even if Lingfengzi withdraws, it is not because he is incompetent, but because the army is not strong enough and will not damage his image much.

   "This wave is reliable... I can even bring some money and send it to Chen Feng on the way. It's just like a courier."

   Zhou Jing smacking his lips, secretly calculating.

  …

   In the evening, Qin Xiangfu.

   "That Lingfengzi really said that?"

   Qin Song was a little surprised after hearing what Lu Longchuan said.

   "It's absolutely true." Lu Longchuan nodded.

   "That's it..."

   Qin Song thoughtfully, subconsciously pointed his finger on the table.

   He suddenly realized that this might be a good opportunity to kill someone with a knife.

   Ziling Fengzi entered Beijing, and the longing of the saints made people envious, some people flattered, and some people secretly feared.

   Although the real Yufeng has no intention of fighting for power, some people still regard him as a thorn in their side. On the surface, everyone gives him face, but in fact, some people want to get rid of it quickly.

   Qin Song is not one of them, and it is not hostile, but the emperor's favor for Lingfengzi does make him feel threatened.

   In addition, Lingfengzi's alchemy method is useful, and countless officials and gentry support him, making this person's contacts more and more extensive, and his status is detached.

  Qin Song has also enjoyed the benefits of medicinal herbs, and also exclaimed about the magical effect.

  —Because of this, powerful officials like him are even more afraid of Lingfengzi.

  Although Lingfengzi is now only a minor official of the Sitianjian and has no power... But Qin Song deeply understands that as long as he becomes a celebrity in the eyes of the emperor, his official position is completely unimportant.

   In this court, the greatest power comes from the emperor. Even if it is a prime minister, being dismissed is only a matter of a few words from the emperor.

   If you say you are white, you will be innocent, if you say you are black, then you will be full of evil.

  Without Lingfengzi, there will be fewer competitors who are very predictable, which is not a bad thing in Qin Song's view.

   As for the emperor's longing for immortality...let's forget it as soon as possible, why do you want to live long in the dragon chair, when the time comes, you should die.

   "The truth of this matter is known, you go back and wait for the news."

   Qin Song came back to his senses, and his tone was neither salty nor light.

  Whether things are going to happen or not, he doesn't plan to fight the evil spirit Fengzi or the emperor... So let others do it, he has too many cards in his hand.
